Unbalance in a rotor produces vibration principally at

  • A.twice per revolution of the machine
  • B.the supply frequency, irrespective of the speed
  • C.the slot passing frequency of the machine
  • D.once per revolution

Answer: D

Correct answer: once per revolution

An eccentric mass produces a rotating force vector fixed to the rotor, so a stationary sensor sees it once per revolution - at one times running speed. That signature is what distinguishes unbalance from misalignment, which appears predominantly at twice running speed, and it is why a vibration spectrum is diagnostic rather than merely a magnitude.
